According to former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman, the Premier League title race is still wide open and Manchester City cannot be counted out just yet. Seaman believes that there are four teams in contention for the trophy this season - his former club Arsenal, along with City, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
Despite Chelsea's head coach Enzo Maresca publicly stating that his team is not in the title race, Seaman remains confident that they are still in the running. While many other experts have written off City due to their dip in form this season, Seaman disagrees and believes they still have a strong chance of winning.
Currently, Liverpool sits at the top of the table with 35 points and a game in hand over their closest competitors Chelsea, Arsenal, and City, who have 31, 29, and 27 points respectively after 15 games played. Looking ahead to the next round of fixtures, Seaman shared his thoughts on the title race during an interview with talkSPORT.
Seaman acknowledges that every team in contention for the title is bound to have a "blip" or a period of struggling at some point during the season. However, he notes that Liverpool has yet to face theirs while City has already experienced a significant dip in form. Even Arsenal, Seaman's former team, has had a few matches where they should have won but ended up dropping points.
However, Seaman is not ruling out City just yet. He believes that once they have their injured players back and regain their confidence, they will be a force to be reckoned with. As for Arsenal, Seaman praises their consistency and the fact that they have not been beaten in recent matches.
Ultimately, Seaman believes that the three teams currently below Liverpool will be hoping for the Reds to have a "wobble" in form to give them a chance to catch up. But for now, he maintains that there are four genuine contenders for the Premier League title, including City who he believes should not be underestimated.
